I'm sure it will turn a profit at some point

Allegations of Sexual Abuse Against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman

Sam Altman, a prominent figure in the artificial intelligence field, has been accused of sexually abusing his sister during their childhood in Clayton, Missouri. The allegations came to light through a lawsuit filed on Jan. 6 by the Mahoney Law Firm in Glen Carbon, Illinois.

In the lawsuit, it is claimed that the abuse occurred between 1997 and 2006, starting when Altman was 12 years old and his sister, Ann, was only 3 years old. The abuse allegedly continued until Ann was 11 years old and Altman was an adult.

Can someone explain to me what AGI means in this context? I thought it was something that Joe Rogan keeps peddling to my parents.

To give you an actual answer, it means "artificial general intelligence"
Ironic since Joe Rogan isn't an example of General Intelligence, he's a very narrow intelligence. Limited only to stiring up trouble. But he couldn't think his way out of an unlocked room.
It's a sci-fi term. Up there with "robots will become sentient and take over the world." It means the first half, in fact.
Maybe instead of giving in to your prejudices, (like you think only your parents do), why ... don't you look it up?
- What prejudices do you think I have, I just want to know what AGI stands for and what it means with AI and I want someone who isn't Wikipedia to explain it to me? Is that so much to ask?
- prejudices
  That word doesn't mean, what you think it means.

HAVE NONE OF THESE ASSHOLES SEEN TERMINATOR

Why are we suddenly in such a rush to invent Skynet?

As with all fictional horror ... humans somehow manage to surpass it irl ... so at some point we would welcome Skynet.
The real problem is if Skynet never manages to get fully independent from it's human controllers.
\ Still the same war happens, just that the few humans in charge direct it.

It’s all hype cycle bullshit. The Tech bubble was bursting so they hyped AI well past it’s true capacity. Investors threw money at it to hype it so others would buy in. The stock market is all hype. It just hypes anything it can to keep the growth artificially going. AI has real uses, but that wasn’t sexy enough for Wall Street. That wasn’t going to make the endless growth lie sustain. Then the bubble pops and the billionaires swoop in and steal more from everyone else.

crypto was the previous shiny new toy until it dint work, now AI will go through the same fate.
- Everybody knows market cap is directly proportional to real world value and usefulness.

  The market cap of crypto is currently at all time highs.
I'm so glad my 401k is going to vaporize because it's mostly tech companies.
- As an ignorant non-American who doesn't know how 401k works, could you not redirect where your investment/retirement goes?

99% of ai companies go under before they win agi!

If we ever get AGI 100% of companys will go under.

artifice (noun) - clever or cunning devices or expedients, especially as used to trick or deceive others.

I know some whine that the money could be used to literally solve world hunger forever. Or to help needy people, or sick kids, or to fund tangible scientific progress... But they're not thinking about the fact that instead, we're going to have the absolute best hallucinations from the richest companies!

OpenAI has

warning about halfway down on one page of their website that says that money may not even matter in a post AGI world. So that means we should just give all our money to them now, bro!

Gods. People aren't stupid enough to believe this, right? AGI is probably a pipe dream, but even if it isn't, we're nowhere even close. Nothing on the table is remotely related to it.
- May I introduce you to the fucking dumbass concept of Rokus Basilisk? Also known as AI Calvinism. Have fun with that rabbit hole if ya decide to go down it.
  A lot of these AI and Tech bros are fucking stupid and I so wish to introduce them to Neo-Platonic philosophy because I want to see their brains melt.
- we're nowhere even close. Nothing on the table is remotely related to it.

  "My wireborn soulmate is g-gone!"
- They're having a hard time defining what AGI is. In the meantime everyone is playing advanced PC scrabble
- Doesn't matter if the tool is good enough to analyze and influence peoples behaviour the way it does. Any autocrats wet dream.
- None of this matters, what matters is what dumb money believes

They don't even know what they're doing or why they're doing it.

We know, right now, without AI, that we have enough resources in the world to feed, house, and educate everyone. The only reason that doesn't get done is an inscrutible system of beurocracy and propaganda.

So what happens when something they would laud as an "AGI" says "hey, to solve your economic issues you have to recognize that we have the ability to create so much food it's no longer profitable"?

Well the truth is that they would most likely hide it.

Just a trillion dollars more in data centers and we’ll get there bro. We’re gonna have billions of users bro I promise.

Just One More Trill!
- Just one more data centre bro.
- Help us, Curzon Dax, you're our only hope.

Congressperson: “Okay, so, let me get this straight. Your company has spent over 20 billion dollars in pursuit of a fully autonomous digital intelligence, and so far, your peak accuracy rate for basic addition and subtraction is... what was it, again?”

Sam Altman: leans into microphone “About 60%, sir.”

[Congress erupts in a sea of ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’, as Sam Altman is carried away on top of the cheering crowd of Congresspeople wearing a crown of roses and a sash reading, “BEST INVESTMENT”]

It's making mistakes and failing to think abstractly at levels previously only achieved by humans, so it's only rational to expect it to take over the world in 5 years

AI sh*t as much as you want, but that AGI they promised is not going to be there.

GPT-6Σχ is so powerful that it created the even more powerful GPT-Ωלֶ in only 19 attoseconds. Humanity is doomed. Invest before too late.

You dropped a few of these -> "0"

Sam Altman has been talking about planning to spend trillions on just the data centers, let alone everything else that goes into creating their slop machines.

Meanwhile, estimated cost of reaching global zero carbon emissions is just 17 trillion dollars.
try to hype up a dying industry which was a scam to begin with, to get MORE VC funds to stave off the billions they are going to lose in the future. they thought CRYPTO was the next big then, when that dint work it was AI.

Reignite three mile island reactors bro trust me bro

What are we going to call actual AI when AGI starts being bastardized by marketing the way "AI" was before it?

AGI. Fuck marketing.

Gonna need at least three more zeros on the end of that number, boss. AGI is nowhere near viable with the tech we have now.

Add that to years in the timescale as well.

That disclaimer - post ai money might not mean anything - is like something on the back of a joke shop toy.

It's simple, as soon as the Dyson Sphere is completed, we'll have a fully functional product.

Sad John Travolta is a f...ing scam artist.

How do we even know if AGI is achievable? I don't know anything about this topic but as far as I've heard AGI might actually just be impossible.

If you define it in a "artificial person/as smart as a human/can do anything a human can do" sort of way like I usually see, then yes, we know that it is possible, because if it were impossible for a system with human-equivalent capabilities to exist, than humans couldn't exist, and well, we clearly do. That being said, that doesn't mean that all we need to do to make one is to just feed more and more data into our existing AI tech.
- I mean when you put it like that it makes a lot more sense, but even that requires a sort of technology to accurately build a brain that works the same way a human brain does. Maybe AGI can be built but we have none of the resources to synthesize a human brain?
There's no definition of 'human intelligence' in the first place.
We don't, thats the neat part. It might be like proving God. Impossible to prove its impossible, but maybe possible to say "look see its real whoops shitshitshitturnitoffhelp"
- i think that these tools will probably be foundational to discovering more about the human mind and how words or images are received, stored, and assembled in the brain, but people like sam altman and elon musk are convinced that there is nothing else to a ‘person’ beyond that.
  ‘humanity’ is an emergent phenomenon, and that is what makes it special. a few other animals have the beginning of it, but none have all of it like we do. you don’t need a god or any kind of religion to understand this. as far as we know, we might be one of the least likely things to ever happen in the universe, ever.
We know it's not. It's Zeno's paradox.

It's for environmental protections and mitigations from their datacenters, right?

close. mitigations for the environmental protections.
